Description
Instructor Ingrid Hansen puppeteers on television for The Jim Henson Company (Fraggle Rock), Sesame Workshop (Helpsters), Miss Persona (where she got to direct Fred Penner!) and Tiga Talk on APTN. She teaches puppet workshops for actors, dancers, adults, children, and prison inmates.
In this workshop we will puppeteer scarves, clothing, and objects, uncovering their hidden characters, and creating short pieces, and trying to stretch the limits of what these objects can do. There will be an emphasis on courage, breath, movement, creative abandon, and sharing our discoveries as a group.
You are invited to bring any objects or materials you are fascinated with (old blazer? Broken telephone? Cereal box?) and also work with the materials provided. (I will have lots of fabric here.) Together we will delve into the relationship of the object to the puppeteer, object to audience, and puppeteer to audience. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes and come ready to laugh try fail flop. ALL WELCOME. If anyone needs any accessibility support or has any special considerations please email us before the workshop:

This workshop is all performing and playing, no building or crafting. (Crafting takes a very long time.)
